Denise Petersen

Denise was first introduced to yoga in 1999, when she entered her first Ashtanga class.  She received her 200-hour certification in 2004 through New York Yoga under the direction of David Hollander, Michael Gilbert and Govinda Kai. Denise completed a prenatal certification at OM Yoga in 2005. 

Denise's classes are playful and challenging, incorporating elements of Ashtanga, Jivamukti and other flow styles. She seeks to create a soulful class inspired by her love of music, poetry, and yogic philosophy as students are guided into moving meditation. She encourages her students through a practice that embraces breath as the link between body, mind and spirit.

Denise is a Teacher Trainer for the Long Island Yoga School. She is incredibly grateful to share the gift of yoga with others.
